Typedef Documentation

typedef struct dmlite_context dmlite_context

Handle for a initialized context.

typedef struct dmlite_credentials dmlite_credentials

Security credentials. It is up to the caller to allocate and free this pointers. DMLite will keep a copy internaly. Non used values MUST be NULL.

typedef struct dmlite_manager dmlite_manager

Handle for the plugin manager.

typedef struct dmlite_security_context dmlite_security_context

Security context.

typedef struct dmlite_security_ent dmlite_security_ent

Used to handle user and group information.

Function Documentation

unsigned dmlite_api_version (void)

Gets the API version.

int dmlite_context_free (dmlite_context *context)

Destroys the context.

Parameters:

context The context to free.

Returns:

0 on success, error code otherwise.

dmlite_context* dmlite_context_new (dmlite_manager *manager)

Returns a usable context from the loaded libraries.

Parameters:

manager The plugin manager.

Returns:

NULL on failure. The error code can be checked with dmlite_manager_error.

Note:

A context is NOT thread safe.

int dmlite_errno (dmlite_context *context)

Returns the error code from the last failure.

Parameters:

context The context that was used in the failed function.

Returns:

The error code.

const char* dmlite_error (dmlite_context *context)

Error string from the last failed function.

Parameters:

context The context that was used in the failed function.

Returns:

A string with the error description. Do NOT free it.

int dmlite_errtype (dmlite_context *context)

Returns the type of the last error.

Parameters:

context The context that was used in the failed function.
